A driverless bus carrying a group of cursed people to a black house...... In the house, there was a door stained red with blood. The cursed, every once in a while, will be forcibly pulled into the terrible world behind the bloody door to complete the horror...... When Ning Qiushui experienced one terrifying story after another in the treacherous house, and finally survived nine deaths, he found that all this was very different from what he thought...... It turned out that it was not a curse, but a ...... - "Late at night, friends, come and sit in the house, there is a brazier here, and by the way, listen to me nag you about this."

Spooky dorms

Ning Qiushui's fingers brushed against a dusty book beneath the skeleton. He lifted it, revealing smudged fingerprints frozen in despair. Moonlight spilled across its pages as they read:

June 1, 2037, Overcast...Grandpa called. Grandma's dying. He wants Mom to visit... But Mom refused. She's never been this cold toward Grandma...

June 9, 2037, OvercastMom hasn't gone to work. She's terrified of something. What's she hiding?

June 12, 2037, OvercastMom cries every night. When I ask why, she just hugs me—so tight I can't breathe...

June 21, 2037, Light RainGrandma died. After the call, Mom left and came back with a blood-red jade. She made me hang it by the window. "Never remove it," she said.

June 22, 2037, StormMom and Dad packed and left. Only me and Granny Wang, our housekeeper, stayed. They warned: "If we return… don't open the door."

July 12, 2037, StormMom came back. I opened the door. I missed her too much…

August 1, 2037, StormIt's not her. IT'S NOT HER.

August 15, 2037, Storm

I let IT in. It's outside now. Hungry. Thirsty. Scared. Will I die here?

"So the old woman downstairs isn't the mistress's mother…" Liu Chengfeng rasped. "She's the housekeeper, Granny Wang."

Ning Qiushui snapped the diary shut. "And the mistress never left. She's been here all along—feeding."

Liu Chengfeng's legs buckled. "The red-jade… the girl's parents knew. They tried to trap it."

Ning Qiushui touched the blood-jade hanging by the window—the only thing keeping the horror at bay. "We need to move. Now."

They split. Liu Chengfeng raided the kitchen in darkness, stuffing sacks with food. Ning Qiushui hauled Granny Wang's frail body upstairs.

Screech—Screech—

The sound erupted behind them. Liu Chengfeng, waiting at the study door, screamed: "HURRY! IT'S COMING!!"

Ning Qiushui sprinted, the housekeeper's weight dragging at him. A skeletal hand seized his neck—icy claws digging into flesh.

"Where… do you think… you're going?" hissed a voice like rotting silk.

Liu Chengfeng lunged, slapping the blood-jade against the monstrous arm. The creature shrieked, flesh sizzling, as he yanked Ning Qiushui into the study.

They slammed the door. Outside, the thing writhed—a grotesque fusion of spider and woman, jaws split to her ears, teeth glinting with gore. Its elongated limbs scraped the walls, fork and knife dripping clotted blood.

"What the hell is that?!" Liu Chengfeng panted.

The abomination screeched, clawing air before retreating into shadows. For now, the blood-jade held.
